An auroral curtain dances low in the
southern sky over the moonlit snow and trees
of Broad Pass, Alaska on the night of March
23/24, 2002. The moon's overexposed image
appears on the upper right, while the stars
of the "sickle" of Leo appear on the upper
left. A moonlit vapor trail from a
high-flying jet appears to pass between the two. The
bright star on the upper right is Pollux,
the brightest in the constellation Gemini.
